{"product_id":"fragments-of-old-comedy-volume-iii","title":"Fragments Of Old Comedy Volume Iii By Storey, Ian C.","description":"Laughter in stitches.   The era of Old  Comedy (ca. 485 – ca. 380 BC), when theatrical comedy was created and  established, is best known through the extant plays of Aristophanes, but  there were many other poets whose comedies survive only in fragments.  This new Loeb edition, the most extensive selection of the fragments  available in English, presents the work of more than fifty-five poets,  including Cratinus and Eupolis, the other members (along with  Aristophanes) of the canonical Old Comic triad. For each poet  and play there is an introduction, and for many there are brief notes  and recent bibliography. Also included are a selection of ancient  testimonia to Old Comedy, nearly one hundred unattributed fragments  (both book and papyri), and descriptions of thirty vase paintings  illustrating Old Comic scenes. The texts are based on the monumental  edition of Kassel and Austin, updated to reflect the latest scholarship.  The complete Loeb Fragments of Old Comedy is in three volumes.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57645851902334,"sku":"NW9780674996779","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780674996779.jpg?v=1783283275","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/fragments-of-old-comedy-volume-iii","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
